Our Mission

Unlike most developers, we take it upon ourselves to voluntarily submit the new homes we sell to two independent monitoring agencies who have the option to award us their respective sustainability certifications based of the excellence of our designs and execution thereof. Their inspections are impartial.

The two certification schemas we use are LEED, administered by the US Green Building Council, and Energy Star, managed by the US Environmental Protection Agency. Successful works of construction are awarded the nation's foremost green building awards.

The US Green Building Council: “LEED for Homes promotes the design and construction of high-performance homes – energy efficient, resource efficient, and healthy for occupants. A home that achieves LEED certification has been designed to maximize fresh air indoors, minimizing exposure to airborne toxins and pollutants. It also has the potential to use 20-30% less energy—and some up to 60% less—than a home built to code. And less energy use means lower utility bills every month. LEED certification recognizes and celebrates leadership in green homebuilding. For the homebuyer, LEED is like the nutrition label that demonstrates in measurable terms that a home incorporates efficient techniques and features, and that the final product has been third party-verified and performance tested.” Learn More

The US Environmental Protection Agency: “ENERGY STAR certified new homes are designed and built to standards well above most other homes on the market today[.] A new home that has earned the ENERGY STAR label has undergone a process of inspections, testing, and verification to meet strict requirements set by the U.S. EPA, delivering better quality, better comfort, and better durability. [ENERGY STAR homes feature] a constant supply of fresh, filtered air, reducing indoor pollutants, dust, pollen, and other allergens. ENERGY STAR certified homes [are] a better value for today and a better investment for tomorrow. Should the time come to consider selling, the ENERGY STAR label will set the home apart as something better: a home of genuine quality, comfort, and efficiency.”Learn More

These ratings ensure not only sustainability, but also the build quality of the home, as neutral third-party inspectors extensively examine project details at multiple intervals during construction. Our new homes will experience higher longevity, have lower utility bills, incur fewer maintenance costs, and will be better for the environment than any other home built simply to local code.

Our philosophy embraces the concepts of sustainability, efficiency, and technology. We aim to achieve the highest possible use of real estate by avoiding negative externalities, minimizing land disturbance, promoting a healthy ecosystem, making efficient use of structures rather than building voluminously, and incorporating smart technologies.
